Medical Question (My first post)

December 19th, 2012, 06:48 PM

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in Middle School. I am now 21 years of age, I currently attend community college. I have taken Medication for Asperger's Syndrome, but I have been off of my medications since late September. I have no criminal record and I have a decent GPA. Will I be allowed to enlist in the National Guard?

Someone here will be able to post the medical regulations in regards to this condition but a current recruiter will best know the answer. All I have to say is that any history of mental issues is either a PDQ or perhaps requires a waiver. With the rise of military suicides linked to the stresses of military service, this is a very delicate area to determine suitability.
